Postseason opponents of the Notre Dame Academy girls' soccer team face an uphill battle when it comes to scoring against the defending Ninth Region champion Pandas, last season's KHSAA state runner-up.

Notre Dame is ranked second statewide in scoring defense with an average yield of 0.4 goals per game. The Pandas returned just four starters and gave up nine goals in 20 games, equaling last season's total of nine goals allowed. They have surrendered more than one goal in a match once this season, in a 3-2 win over Newport Central Catholic. A 2-1 loss to Highlands came in a shootout.
